| 246247 | 2004-06-20 11:23:00 | Firstly, you would be much better to use SSH rather than telnet because of security. I don't know if mandrake even includes telnet on the CDs anymore for this reason. To install ssh instead run "urpmi sshd". A great windows SSH client to use is PuTTY. If you are brave enough to stick with telnet, first make sure it is installed with "urpmi telnet". To control services (including xinetd services) from the command line you can either use "drakxservices" and pick from the menu (all of the mandrake config tools are available in textmode, try typing "drak" and hitting tab to get a list). Or use chkconfig: run "chkconfig --list" to get a list of services, and "chkconfig sshd on" to set a service to run at boot. To start/stop/restart/status a service immediately use "service sshd restart", "service sshd status", etc. |

| 246249 | 2004-06-21 04:37:00 | i have reinstalled the copy of linux because i decided that maybe i had not install all the things i need (ssh, ftp , telnet) as far as i can tell i have installed every thing. i still can get telnet ftp or ssh to work. thats not quite true.... i cant find any trace of them on the system, its not a matter of them not working right it more that i cant find them. all the info i can find on the web is writen for people who want to use X-windows. I cant find out how to setup anything, i cant setup ppp. thinking i might give up soon and put redhat 5.0 on the system, it has a nice text menu to setup all sorts of stuff. I am not happy with mandrake at all. HELP!!!! |

| 246250 | 2004-06-21 04:45:00 | Have you tried The Linux Documentation Project (http://www.tldp.org)?? | Chilling_Silence (9) | ||
| 246251 | 2004-06-21 05:02:00 | Hang in there ;). Have you been to the Madrake furoms per chance? Btw I've just gotten MD 9.2, Morpix and Knoppix from DSE for the pincely some of $11. Knoppix runs real sweat in GUI mode of the cd on this 200mmx lol. Just picked up another PC and MS Windows is not going anywhere near it he he. |

| 246252 | 2004-06-21 05:08:00 | Forgot to add have you used the whereis command to see if telnet and ssh are in the /usr/bin directory. Sintax- whereis telnet -{enter} | mark.p (383) | ||
| 246253 | 2004-06-21 05:14:00 | Oh and use wvdial for dialing out in text mode IIRC. Once again- whereis wvdial -to find it. | mark.p (383) | ||
| 246254 | 2004-06-21 05:17:00 | > Have you tried The Linux Documentation project?? i have read some of it and it is of no help. its as if i have a version of linux with all the good bit taken out. find / -name telnet find / -name ftpd find / -name telnetd find / -name sshd all come back with nothing. i keep reading about inetd.conf and i cant find that either. |
